Even though I thought I would take a day off on the quilting of this one, I was so close to done that I worked on it 3 separate times of the day and finished it last night. Here it is ready for trimming.
After trimming I put it up on a design wall to study it and try to decide on a binding color. It was too late last night to start looking for candidates so I'll do that today.
By the time the blooms on the Redbud trees are open this far, we usually have had a rain storm that knocks the petals off. We have rain predicted so I'm glad I got a photo yesterday.
This is the view from the kitchen window. It was a little cooler yesterday so I carried all of the fallen branches to my driveway for brush pickup next week.

Raining here and some heavy on the way. The quilt is beautiful. My Crabapples are starting to open. Hopefully they don't get ruined. Chris
LOVE the quilt!! And oh those blossoms are heavenly!
That quilt makes my heart sing. I may have to make "my version" of that one. (if you don't mind, of course)
I think it would be amazing on the wall of our fellowship hall at church.
great looking quilt, sometimes it is hard to take the day off and do something else when you are near to a finish.
The redbuds are pretty, ours have leafs on already and buds are gone.

This has been one of my favorites ever since I first saw it posted.
It looks wonderful and the trees are stunning.
Wonderful quilt. Looks like a stained glass window. Lovely Redbuds!
I love the cross quilt and how timely. Our skies are heavy with rain today as well, and it's so very gloomy. The clouds are hanging so low, it feels like you can reach up and touch them! Lovely quilt. Thank you for sharing.
The quilt is an eye poper,love it.Wig.
Raining here, too. The cherry trees will have lost many petals by the end of today . . .
Another gorgeous quilt!
Your quilt is stunning!!!
Beautiful and striking play of light and shadow....as always. I so enjoy your quilts and their inspiration to me.
What a powerful quilt! I can see why you were compelled to finish the quilting on it. Will be interested to see what you choose for binding.
Your cross quilt is stunning...it is like a stained glass window.
This red tree is gorgeous Wanda- it reminds me of Lilacs. Does it have its own fragrance? What a wonderful thing to see outside your window.
Warmest regards,

Hi Wanda,
What a great view out of your kitchen window! Hopefully that rain didn't drop all of the blooms.
I, too have always liked that quilt you're working on for the show. Love the play of light vs. dark.

What a beautiful quilt. the first picture I didn't quite get, but then when you hold it up, it is stunning!
Love the cobblestone cross quilt! Beautiful!
That is such a beautiful quilt, for so many reasons. The whole series of cobblestones is just magnificent!
That is an absolutely perfect quilt for Easter! Love it!!
Oh wow! The cross on the cobblestone background really jumps out - I love it!
